 Rev Hiram Eddy, D. D., arrived home last Thursday. On Friday while inhaling the bracing air of Canaan he said: ''This air is champagne.

 -Canaanites have received returns from the tobacco which they shipped to V. c. Beers of Cornwall Bridge on Mon lay of last week.

 -Litchfeld is 0 mighty convenient place for the county seat. It Is about 24 miles from Canaan but there is no direct public conveyance between the two places. A man can walk from Canaan to Litchfeld quicker than he can reach there by railroad. If you wish to reach Litchfeld by railway you must leave Canaan at 40 g. m. but you cannot arrive in Lit"hfield via. Winsted until 2 30 p. m. Returning you must leave Litchfeld at II a. m. in order to reach Canaan by BAY p. m. Litchfeld was located when people travelled by snow shoes. That was before the age of steam, but just at present there is Q craze for tobogganing and snow shoe travelling. so Lii enfield hopes to retain the county seat.

We were not personally acquainted with Louis but know that he was an excel lent young man. He was employed on the New Haven Palladium and that journal pays the following tribute to him: 'sLouis B. James was an unusual ly well-read and bright young man. He was ambitious, too, and never has one word of criticism been required upon his manner of doing the work which fell to him. He has done it faithfully and zealously, making the interest O. his employers his own, and every mem ory We have in connection with him is pleasant one. It seems hard, indeed that so bright a young life should have been so suddenly and so cruelty extin guished. He was at his post Frida, morning at clock when the pape
